More than 40 taco vendors are expected to participate in the second annual Tacolandia, a celebration of the yummy-filled tortillas that have become a staple street food of Los Angeles.

Soho Taco, which makes every tortilla from scratch and even has gluten-free tacos, plans to serve one of its specialty tacos that consist of marinated shrimp, grilled with garlic butter and topped with cabbage, cheese and chipotle sour cream.

Another vendor to make an appearance at the event is Carnitas El Momo, who was awarded “Best in Show” at Groupon’s Taco Madness event earlier this year. Carnitas El Momo has been around for 41 years serving savory carnitas, which are often raved about on Yelp.

There will also be food demonstrations, a tequila garden and La Tortilla Factory will be giving out free packages of handmade white corn tortillas to the first 1,500 attendees who visit its booth.
